    [Guide] How to recongize phishing scams

    In this guide I'll show you how to notice that site that wants you to enter your WoW Info might not be Big Blue.

    Step 1. Open up your email. In my case Outlook Express and navigate to a presumed phishing email.

    Step 2. Mouse over the links and see if they are valid if they are www.worldofwarcraft.com they are valid. If they are something like qwerty.asdf.hu/worldofwarcraft/administrator/port/account.html You might see something is up. (I got carried away while editting it.. hehe.)

    Step 3. Give your self a pat on the back for not giving your information to a good for nothing scammer! 6):


    Put this to good use.
